About Tamzin
Tamzin Brain is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Tamzin also supports those coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting strain and career concerns.
Her background includes a range of therapeutic approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy.
Background and approach
Tamzin uses these approaches in flexible ways to match each person’s needs rather than following a single method. In sessions she focuses on understanding each person’s view of their difficulties. She helps people talk through painful memories, reduce overwhelming feelings and build practical skills for day-to-day life.
Work can include addressing attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, codependency and issues linked to chronic pain or long-term illness. Tamzin also offers help around fertility and fatherhood issues, communication and relationship patterns, control and commitment worries, and neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome. She aims to help people regain confidence and develop better coping strategies.
Therapy is delivered in ways that suit the client, with options for talking work, skills practice and reflective exercises. Tamzin encourages gradual change, exploring what matters to the person and building small steps that add up to meaningful improvement.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tamzin will talk with each person about what feels useful and adjust the mix of methods to fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that looks at what helps in day-to-day life as well as what people want to change long term.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or quick, ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while still working through the issues described above.
